Congratulations on the new car, not to mention one of the two better years, :)
Based on my experience with a '96 and leaks from my turbo hoses, Intercooler end tanks and the vacuum lines, I would start with that. An air leak or vacuum leak will not cause a CEL, but it can cause low boost pressure even if the turbo is working. I always go for the cheap solution first, if there is one.
Easy way to get familiar with how the engine is laid out, and checking those big clamps and hoses needs to be done now and then anyway... 4 mm rubber vacuum hose is about 50 cents per foot, or $1 per foot for silicone hose at hosetechniques.com. I've had to replace some of mine twice.
Use a strong flashlight to inspect the turbo hose ends. Where there is an air leak, there will be traces of oil that normally stays inside the hoses.
